Following Girls on Classifieds and Clients Confessions
Tonight I was on Bangalore Craigslist and ended up browsing the pages where women of the night advertise their services. Many of the postings included pictures which I thought for sure couldn't be real. All of them included phone numbers, but fully half of them had already been removed as 'scams'.
My question is: what's the scam? What happens when you call? Does someone who does not resemble the .jpg show up to your door? What happens then? Are these even adult services or people looking to rob you? I guess I could've called myself just to see what happened, but didn't want them recording my phone number for any reason.
Just to clarify, I’m not actually seeking a hooker or any illegal advice. I was just naively surprised that the pictures were not of broken-down, meth-ridden ladies, but women who looked like models. Granted this is a large city so maybe there is a variety. I've never been with a hooker and not sure I've even see one in real life, which only encourages my fascination.

The larger the city the less likely those hookers are exclusively broken down meth addicts. That said I doubt high-end call girls populate Craigslist. But as I have no experience (I swear!) I couldn't say for certain.
As to seeing a hooker. A game that my friends and I have played in Bangalore is to sit in the lobbies of high-end hotels in MG Road and Brigade Road and look for 20-something women on the arms of 50-something men.
These women are likely (high-end) hookers. I'm pretty sure Bangalore has some high-end hotels where this can be done.

I have met very few sex workers who looked like models, but I've met plenty of sex workers who are quite attractive in person and who looked absolutely gorgeous in their most flattering photographs.
People who advertise for clients for their sex work on Craigslist are generally reasonably market-savvy and computer-savvy professionals, not people who are debilitated by out-of-control addictions.
The broken down meth addict hookers blow guys for INR 2000/ in an alley and don't use the interwebs to advertise their services. The INR 2000/ soish ladies will be quite normal to good looking. However many advertisers on craigslist will put photos of other people and misrepresent themselves. What happens when she shows up at your door and she looks nothing like the photo? Well, you can either tell her to go away or invite her in. But these days many of the ladies advertising on craigslist are really traps set by the police so it is not the best way to procure a "date" for the evening.
For fun, you can use a tineye.com to compare said courtesan to other photos on the web. That is, the photo may be a porn actress you've never heard of, or that photo is advertised in every city in the country. How she can be in Chennai, Mysore and Hyderabad, Mumbai at the same time is beyond me. And like any other ad, if it sounds too good to be true, it is probably too good to be true. the call girls will troll the lounges of high end bars in hotels I realized I was getting old when these ladies started propositioning me.

I had a roommate who told me her former clients were often surprised that she actually looked like her photo. This makes me think that most women don't match the photo. Besides, the number may be for a service, and they may send over who is still available.
I had a friend who was a Craigslist sex worker for a while. She worked through an agency so that, although the picture was of her (and the most flattering picture she had at that), the phone number was the agency's. She didn't advertise very often; they were encouraged to gather a few regular clients and avoid making new ones, for the most part. When called, she would then try to get a feel for the prospective client, making sure he or she wasn't creepy. After that, they would first meet at a neutral, public location. Sometimes, they would do this more than once before she decided to take someone on as a client. I recall her telling me that she was encouraged to bail out at any point if she felt uncomfortable and to let the agency know about it.
Anyway, that's one way it works when it's not a scam. I don't know about how it goes on the scamming end.

Some websites (maybe not Craigslist), ostensibly use a system to report back from clients to assure the photographs that sex workers use are genuine. I can imagine there is a strong incentive for both sides to weed out scams or fakers, even if they're not always successful. Craigslist is probably more hit and miss, but I really don't know.

Craigslist's removal message is generic, so you have no way of telling whether it is prohibited, spam/over post, miscategorized, etc. (There is no 'scam' option, btw) I am guessing since adult services has been removed in the last year, that all these posts are "prohibited".
Aside from cop sting ops and sending an uglier girl than pictured, I don't think there's much of a scam to be had in prostitution; it's pretty profitable anyways.
